I'm not sure if I qualify as a "die hard" fan of Axis, but I've chosen it over XFire because I like the pluggable architecture and some of the other features, such as more transport options (TCP).
I am doing a top-down web service using XML Schema and WSDL as the starting point. The xsd is moderately complicated, with three separate files defined in the same namespace. The story goes somewhat like this: 1) Downloaded Axis 2.0 release distribution. Chose Xmlbeans as the databinding option because of its excellent support for even complex XML Schema (ADB couldn't handle my XSD). Ran WSDL2Java Ant task to generate code. Generated code did not compile (the *MessageReceiverInOut.java generated class had errors in the fromOM() and toOM()), so... 2) Downloaded Nightly build (at that time 2006-09-02), which got rid of the problem. But the WSDL2Java ant task was not generating all of the XmlBeans source files (only 1 of the xsd had classes generated for it). Also, the <codegen> 'namespaceToPackages' attribute was being ignored. OK, added a .xsdconfig file in the same directory as the xsd and ran separate Ant task to generate the Xmlbeans classes. No problem. 3) Deployed the .aar file using the generated build.xml. Ran into an issue because the code generator is copying my schema files as xsd0.xsd, xsx1.xsd, etc. to the /resources folder and my <import> tag in my WSDL file (under <types> section) was still referencing the file by name. OK, so I copied the original WSDL's to the /resources folder and regenerated the .aar and deployed it. It runs now, but I still have to do the same for the JMS version of the web service. My impressions are that 1.0 is still a little rough around the edges. Nothing impossible to overcome, but if you expect everything "out-of-the-box", you may want to wait until 1.1.

Installed AXIS and ran some of the demos without any problems but have since discovered AXIS2 (yet to install). Should I jump to AXIS2 or are there "die hard" AXIS fans that would like to share their recomendations. thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
